Bloody idiot driver today.
Commuting driving in narrow motorway lanes 50mph controlled speed this idiot was in the fast lane then he drifts over to the slow lane - I had to emergency brake as his boot and half his rear door were not past my bonnet. Poor chap in the slow lane had to put two wheels in the grass verge off the hard shoulder.
Horns were blasted at him my window down as I pulled along side him giving him the big birdie he just looked totally confused with this bizarre what I took as a smirk.

He then carried on at 20mph in a 50mph flowing traffic works section idiot. Bloody idiot.

I was so furious I had to resort to putting Beverly Craven "Promise me" repeat a few times just to calm down.

tt - oh it was a vectra saloon 52reg maroon and he was a White British man in his early 40's at j8/9 on the M4. Avoid him at all costs.

I can't work out if you're being ironic there.

Will be looking out for him!

Annoying as it is when people can't drive, don't let it get to you.

I had somebody do this to me two weeks ago on the M1. I swerved out of the way narrowly missing the car the next lane.
The driver that tried to pull out on me waved his apology. I waved back and we both went on our way. No harm done , no need to get angry , we all make mistakes

that's the most interesting thing ever written about a Vauxhall Vectra..fair play to him, if I was piloting one of those my mind wouldn't be on my driving either..dare say the poor chap was contemplating suicide Leming style when you happened into his path

I wasn't aware the motorway lanes were designated Fast and Slow lanes.

When did this happen? Been some time since I took my test mind...

A freer flowing motorway everyone doing the 50mph yet feckwit decides to slow right down in guessing reason is he realised he'd been a total arse.

There was no "sorry" gesture unless you call smirking a normal response...?? I'd normally blow a kiss to crazy fast drivers out of control that really does wind them up and confuse them
